others that the Clydes have bought the
steamers and would eventually consolidate
the two lines Capt. Courtenay, who has
been interviewed ON the subject, says that
he knows nothing about the purchase of the
Adger steamers and did net think that they
could have been bought by the Clydes, as
they had been seized for Indebtedness by the
bondholders, and would be put up at public
sale. Mr.. j. T. Adger, one of the agents of
the New York and Charleston Steamship
Company, said that he had heard nothing in
regard TO the sale, OF intended sale, of the
steamers. Upon the maturity of the bonds
about two months ago the vessels had been
seized by the bondholders, but as to what
the company proposed doing he was not able
to say. Since the seizure of the Columbia

Mr.. H. 4. Peteet:
DEAR SIR-Untl about three months ago I
could not procure glasses that would enable me
to read at night without serious discomfort I
had tried pebbles and various styles of glasses,
but by reading for any considerable length Of
time particularly at night, my eyes were
duced by testimonials from friends in Macon, I
procured a pair of HAWKES. CRYSTAL
LIED LENSES" as sold by you and have
found them so clear, soft and brilliant that I
read for hours at a time by day or night, with
out experiencing any discomfort or sense of
fatigue. To that extent at least my eyes have
been benefited and at times read both written
and printed matter without the aid of glasses.
They are certainly the most perfect glasses
have ever used. and as such take pleasure in
recommending them. Respectfully yours,
